By that standard, it would be virtually impossible to get any new features added. With that in mind, here's the short answer: The problem is that there is a feature people are requesting that currently does not exist. The longer answer: This is not a bugfix, nor does it purport to be. This is a requested new feature proposed for the next *major* PHP release (i.e. 6.0). This feature will add convenience and allow developers o flexibly assert more control over their code structure. --Kris
